Long posts rock!

It was cut off of him by her dad (or uncle or cousin) and I think she was forced into the convent. Because he lacked appropriate equipment, there could be no physical expression of their love anyway. Since apparently the main criteria for "loving God most" is that you don't have sex with other humans, it was easy enough for them to go with the "loving God more" schtick.

(Note also that I believe this is the first use of "shagg'd" in the English language).
Stay away from that Malkovich thing! No good can come of it!

Rush is a big fat idiot, and when Franken tries to be serious and political instead of funny, he's an idiot too.

Fugee, Cheaters & "Christian" Spam

No. I really meant what I wrote. And BTW, I also have the goal of getting into better shape but still keep eating too much junk food.

I'm so disappointed to hear that everyone is getting the same spam from Christian dating services. I thought I was special. Actually I thought maybe I got them because I went to Bible related web sites. Guess not. I haven't gotten any Christian mortgages or asset extender spams however. Just dating services.

P.S. To those who were defending the cheaters, I didn't get the story just from the ex-wife. Corporations are amazingly efficient at spreading gossip related to louche behavior. And if they were so guilt-ridden and just wanted to be together, they wouldn't have treated their exes so badly during the divorce.

For those of us who would have stayed in school if not for the poverty

MIT has launched an online site callled "Open Courseware" wherein they publish all the course materials and schedules, readings, assignments, in some cases copies of exams given, outlines, exemplar papers completed by students,etc. In fact, its everything you would get from signing up for one of these courses, except access to the actual faculty.

Link to MIT's new site http://ocw.mit.edu/index.html

Has anyone seen Madonna's new children's book? What I've read about it has been pretty merciless. This piece was particularly scathing and fun.

My apologies. I will slow down and check sources before doing my next Executive Summary.
